This rare pair of Swedish Art Deco armchairs for sale dates from the 1930s Scandinavian Art Deco period and features beautifully sculpted golden birch bentwood arms with a rich honey-toned French polish finish. The flowing curved armrests and strong architectural form are typical of high-quality Swedish Art Deco furniture design, where craftsmanship and comfort were equally important.
The frames are constructed in top-grade Swedish birch veneers, prized for their warm tone and attractive grain pattern. Prior to shipping the armchairs will be carefully repolished, allowing the natural depth and lustre of the golden birch to fully return.
These armchairs were designed as luxurious lounge seating, with extra deep fully sprung seats that provide exceptional comfort. The generous proportions make them ideal for relaxed seating and are one of the reasons Swedish Art Deco armchairs of this type are so sought after by collectors and interior designers.
The chairs remain structurally sound with solid frames and traditional upholstery construction.
The existing upholstery is original but now aged, making these chairs an excellent opportunity to select a new fabric that perfectly suits your interior.
We are able to professionally reupholster the armchairs prior to shipping for an additional cost.
Requirements:
8 metres of standard width upholstery fabric
Alternatively, the chairs can be reupholstered by your own upholsterer
If you would like assistance selecting fabric, we can recommend excellent UK upholstery fabric suppliers.
As part of our preparation process we will:
